Q: Hi. My daughter is looking to add a US tech stock to a portfolio that follows your balanced portfolio with some added US stocks and International ETFs. She currently owns 4 tech stocks; CSU, LSPD, KXS and NVDA. She is 21 yo and looking for long term growth. We are wondering if U is a better addition than TEAM (I am already following TEAM as I own it, but would consider selling it for a better company as I like to limit myself to following about 35 stocks). Any better suggestions? TTD? We both already own VEEV (under healthcare).

Q: If you just received $200K extra cash and would like to invest it in CND and US stocks in a non-registered account for maximum returns in 3-5 years, which CND and US stocks would you choose? For this, higher risk would be acceptable. Please prioritize 4-5 of each of the CDN and US stocks.

Would there be any changes, if it was going into a couple's TFSA's with sufficient contribution room?

Thanks, and please deduct as many credits as appropriate.

Q: Hello, I have been holding Intel for more than 5 years now. According to what I read in the Q&A I believe the time has come to sell it and buy something else. Would that make sense to buy Roku to replace Intel? Another option would be either NVDA or QCOM? What would you do? Thank you, Gervais

Q: Hi team,

With 22 tech stocks weighting some 34% of my portfolio, I assume you would recommend that I rationalize my approach for a better diversification, both in my tech sector and in my portfolio as a whole.

To accomplish that, while keeping a strong growth approach, could you indicate which are, in your view, 1) the « must own » stocks, in order of importance 2) those which could be dropped because of « double emploi » or high risk, 3) those missing to properly cover the tech sector ?

Please feel free to use as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully yours,

Jacques IDS

Q: Hi,

I hold a 2.5% position in NVDA after selling half to lock in my original costs. I'd like to pick up another high growth chip maker/developer/fabricator, and the listed companies are on my watch list. Ideally the company would have a great balance sheet (net cash), a pipeline of great products and great opportunity for growth - no dividend needed. Can you endorse one or two and/or recommend something not on the list?

Q: I have to add US tech exposure (missed the boat) and only 4 percent which translates to $350,000. I already have 60 holding (total portfolio) which is already high but I’m ok with it given the size of my portfolio. Which would you pick? Should I just buy all 4 at 1 percent holding increasing to 64 holdings or pick just 1 or 2?
